''The '''Refutation Move''' is a [[Move Ordering]] related issue.''

A '''Refutation Move''' in the context of [[Search|search algorithms]] like [[Alpha-Beta]] or [[Principal Variation Search]] is a move which [[Fail-High|fails high]] at [[Node Types#CUT|Cut-nodes]]. It is not necessarily the [[Best Move|best move]], but good enough to refute opponents previous move. Since it is the best move found so far, in the context of [[Transposition Table|transposition table]], it is often flippant mentioned as best move as well.
